So, you need to keep adding turtles on turtles to keep the story going, then.


Are you afraid someone might realise where you went wrong?

No, I'm waiting for the conspiracy theory that, say, Musk told the ADL what he'd be doing and paid them to defend his praise of Nazism.



That you didn't answer my question shows that it's less likely a conspiracy theory and more reality

how much does musk, or all the millionaires jumping on Trumps  bandwagon for that matter, donate to the ADL?

Nothing.


are you trying to prove your stupidity?

Trumpy is too stupid to realise his hand should be on the bibles held by his wife. What a sign to the chaos his second term will be.

That is justice for Americans voting for the liar and cheat. Tho US high inflation to come from Trumpy’s idiotic policies might have wider impact. What worries me is if another pandemic hits as one well might do, H5N1 in particular.

And when Australians use the term 'Paki', they're 'perfectly executing' a British term that is intended to be ethnically denigrating and is illegal in Britain...

So, Australians must be using it for the same reasons, then eh!

"Listen up, you Nazis. Here's the deal," Biden said. "Dangerous, inflammatory rhetoric has no place in our political discourse. That's why I'm calling on all of Donald Trump's nasty, disgusting, disease-infested, Hitler-loving, supporters to knock it off. Got it?"

The president stressed the need to leave insults behind and for the nation to return to civility. "The idea… that these sewer-dwelling, racist, woman-hating, fascists would try to infect our democracy with such vile, and by the way!" Biden continued. "They're the worst. The absolute scum of the earth. Walking pieces of human scat. But this is a time for unity. When we can come together… as one people… all of us… along with the hideous, festering, buckets of slime who support Donald Trump… to unite this country. And that's… that's the… that's it. End speech."

What all the hand-flappers here have missed in their hysteria over whether or not Elon Musk used the Roman salute intentionally as the Naxi salute, which he didn't... is why he was compelled to express that much heartfelt emotion over victory in the first place.

It's not like he'd won the presidency...

Or did he?

Oh, so we’re not allowed to laugh at the absurdity of your position now?

Why is it, among the cheer squad for the self-proclaimed troll-in-chief, that suddenly everything must be treated with such solemnity?

yourself. You had every opportunity to set the tone, and you chose to wallow in mud. Now you can lie in it.

What’s wrong, feeling a little fragile? Do you need a safe space?

I'm just telling it how it is after all.

So true....Biden is 100% correct about these sewer-dwelling, racist, woman-hating, fascists who would infect our democracy....The hideous, festering, buckets of slime who support Donald Trump are now elected to destroy the crap hole known as the U (Useless) S (Stupid) A (Arseholes)....How could anyone argue with that Fwank....Do you have a link to your bullshit ya smacking fat dickhead Fwanker???

Yep.

Do it like grandad and you're all good... apparently!


You lot were defending Elon using angles, well, Waltz arm isn't even straight, Elons was. 

You're defending Elon's movement as a Roman Salute, which isn't what Waltz did either.

And since according to an apocryphal legend, the fascist gesture was based on a customary greeting which was allegedly used in ancient Rome, they are effectively the same thing.

If you take Elon's posting history on X, it is sometimes hard to distinguish from far-right extremists. In late 2023 he went on a so-called “apology tour” to Israel after responding to a post about an antisemitic conspiracy theory on X with the words “the actual truth.” He often posts Pepe frogs, and other images and memes associated with the alt-right.

But it was a Roman gesture?

Can we have some consistency, other than you lot constantly supporting white supremacist rhetoric?

Ooo... Sensitive!

Posting a gay guy's hand-flapping rant... At the risk of misgendering you...!

Shallow thinkers like yourself can't separate the cultural filters we're all subject to...

Cultural hyper-sensitivity to all things and symbols Nazi is a Western phenomenon, not least because Nazism is a grievous insult to our shared European cultural values - i.e. how could the land of Bach, Beethoven and Europe's most enlightened thinkers have stooped so low? Nazism destroyed Europeans' presumption of moral and cultural superiority.

Nazism is not perceived as that egregious in almost all other cultures, particularly ones that endured historical mass slaughter dwarfing Nazi atrocities.

Let's be frank for a moment (not the dickhead here on the forum, the other kind of Frank).

What Elon did was a Nazi Salute.

It just was.

Is that what he meant?

That I don't know.

He is an incredibly uncharismatic and awkward man.  He may have undergone gender-affirming treatment to improve his masculinity and have Billions of dollars behind him, but he's still a socially awkward, foolish idiot.

It's easy to get swept up in the moment, especially in victory, and do something stupid.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth for some: he did it.

No amount of mental gymnastics or pseudo-intellectual geometry can erase the physical motion he chose to make. Stop pretending otherwise. Get help.

And let’s not confuse the issue, context and intention do matter. Personally, I don’t think Elon Musk consciously meant to project Nazism in that moment. But the fact remains: that is what he did.

Was it some sort of bizarre muscle memory? Highly doubtful. Was it pure idiocy? More likely. But this desperate parade of excuses, this laughable attempt to deny what plainly occurred, is embarrassing.

Here’s a challenge for those falling over themselves to defend him: if you truly believe it wasn’t a Nazi salute, start using that gesture yourself.

At your child’s next parent-teacher night, introduce yourself with the same motion.
When giving a work presentation, begin by mimicking the gesture.
If it’s so innocent, so misunderstood, you should have no problem adopting it into your daily life.

What’s that? Uncomfortable? Good. Now, stop making excuses for what he did.
